Old Town fire destroys trailer

OLD TOWN, Maine — A woman living in the Pine Haven trailer park on Stillwater Avenue was hanging out in the trailer next door to hers early Friday morning when she heard a sound that alerted her to danger.

“She thought she heard something” and went to investigate, said Old Town Fire Department Deputy Chief Stephen O’Malley.

Rebecca Lane walked next door to her home and opened the front door, Old Town fire Lt. Matt Redding said.

When the door opened, “the cats came running out and she saw a glow down her hallway,” he said.

Someone called 911 at 3:31 a.m. to alert the fire department and “a futile attempt was made by a neighbor to put it out with a bucket of water,” Redding said of the fire.

When firefighters arrived, “it was fully involved,” O’Malley said. “The back, pretty much half of the structure,” was engulfed in flames.
